2023 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia made his major-league debut in July and appeared in 39 games for Oakland. The 25-year-old performed more or less as expected with a .207 average with five home runs and a 44 percent strikeout rate in 125 plate appearances. Those figures fairly accurately display his major strengths and weaknesses, and it remains to be seen if he can make enough contact to remain relevant at the big-league level. Read Past Outlooks

The Athletics released Garcia on Friday.
ANALYSIS
After posting a .652 OPS over 125 plate appearances as a rookie with the Athletics a season ago, Garcia failed to make Oakland's Opening Day roster coming out of spring training and was later moved off the 40-man roster in April. The Athletics have now opted to cut ties with the 25-year-old entirely, even though he was holding his own at Las Vegas with a .265/.359/.542 slash line across 192 plate appearances. Garcia shouldn't have much difficulty securing a minor-league deal with another organization, though it's possible he explores his options overseas.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2018
2017
When gambling on a power hitter with significant swing-and-miss issues, it’s best to target young, high-pedigree players who also walk a lot and offer top-of-the-spectrum power. Garcia checks all of those boxes. He was a prized international signing in 2014, and has true 80-grade raw power. His 27.7 percent strikeout rate in the Appalachian League was the best mark of his career, and after a promotion to Low-A, he was back to whiffing at a 33.6 percent clip, while also walking at an 11.2 percent rate -- the third best mark by a teenager in the Sally League. Among players in that league with at least 100 plate appearances, Garcia’s .291 ISO ranked second, and the next closest mark by a teenager was .201 (Carter Kieboom). His defensive home is uncertain, but third base, first base and DH are all in play. He will likely never hit even .250 in the majors, but if he gets on base enough to play every day, he would easily hit 30-plus homers over a full season. Essentially, he might be the next Joey Gallo.
Garcia showed in the Appalachian League that his swing certainly packs a punch. Of course, that only occurred when he managed to make solid contact, and that didn't happen all that often. The 18-year-old posted a .454 slugging percentage, thanks largely to 13 home runs, but finished barely above the Mendoza Line for the season as he fanned 79 times. Garcia has already shifted from shortstop to third base, and with that move comes greater emphasis on the development of his bat. His primary area of focus in 2017 will be making more consistent contact at the dish, likely at Low-A to begin the season.
